| 0:00.0 | Got the news of John Sterling's passing just a few minutes ago at the age of 87. |
| 0:08.7 | So we are celebrating the life and the broadcast career of one of the greats and someone that will be never forgotten as long as we live. |
| 0:19.3 | Because I can guarantee you that there is going to be in my |
| 0:23.4 | mind a Yankees win or a you know here comes the judge call or something that will be referenced |
| 0:30.4 | with friends of mine that are my age or older or even younger as he touched so many generations |

| 1:43.5 | And then she couldn't pay pay attention so we put the |
| 1:46.6 | radio on and she listened to john and she used to memorize and imitate all his calls she could never |
